1. Press the

Memory Button

on the remote.

The two underscore lines will appear at the far right
side of the

Upper Display Line

2. Within 5 seconds, press the

Numeric Keys

for the location where you wish to store this sta-
tion’s frequency. Once entered, the preset number
will appear in the

Upper Display Line

3. Repeat the process after tuning any additional sta-

Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 335 is sent to
the record outputs. This means that any program you
are watching or listening to may be recorded simply
by placing machines connected to the

Tape Outputs

Video 1/Video 2 Audio

and

Video Outputs

in the Record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to the

Digital Audio Outputs

, you are able to record

the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital
recording system.

NOTES:

• The digital outputs are active only when a digital sig-

nal is present, and they do not convert an analog
input to a digital signal, or change the format of the
digital signal. In addition, the digital recorder must
be compatible with the output signal. For example,
the PCM digital input from a CD player may be

recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital
or DTS signals may not.

copyright restrictions on any material you copy.
Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials is
prohibited by federal law.

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 335 is
established EzSet+, or the internal the test tone, as
outlined on page 25. However, you may wish to adjust
the output levels using program material such as a test
disc, or a selection you are familiar with.

To adjust the output levels using program material, first
set the reference volume for the front left and front right
channels using the

Volume Control

If you prefer, you may use a handheld SPL meter to
guide you to the correct SPL levels. Set the meter to
the C-Weighting Slow scale, and adjust the volume
until the meter reads 75dB.

Once the reference level has been set, press the

Channel Select Button

and

FRONT L

LEV

will appear in the

Lower Display Line

To change the level, first press the

Set Button

and then use the

⁄

Buttons

to raise or

lower the level. DO NOT use the volume control,
as this will alter the reference setting.

Once the change has been made, press the

Set

Button

and then press the

⁄

Buttons

to select the next output channel location that you
wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press
the

⁄

Buttons

until

WOOFER LEV

appears in the

Lower Display Line

Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels
requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjust-
ments have been made and no further adjustments
are made for five seconds, the AVR 335 will return to
normal operation.

The channel output for any input may also be adjusted
using the full-OSD on-screen menu system. First, set
the volume to a comfortable listening level using the

Volume Control

. Then, press the

OSD

Button

to bring up the

MASTER MENU

(Figure 1). Press the

Button

until the on-

screen

›

cursor is next to the

CHANNEL

ADJUST

line. Press the

Set Button

activate the

CHANNEL ADJUST

(Figure 11).

Once the menu appears on your video screen, use the

⁄

Buttons

to move the on-screen

›

cursor

so that it is next to the

TEST TONE

line. Press

the

‹

›

Buttons

so that

OFF

appears. This

turns off the test tone and allows you to use external
source material as the reference. Then, use the

⁄

Buttons

to select the channels to be adjusted. At

each channel position, use the

‹

›

Buttons

change the output level. The goal is to have the output
level at each channel equal when heard at the listening
position.

If you wish to reset all the levels to their original
factory default of 0dB offset, press the

⁄

Buttons

so that the on-screen cursor is next to the

CHANNEL RESET

line and press the

‹

›

Buttons

so that the word

appears. After the

levels are reset, resume the procedure outlined above
to reset the levels to the desired settings. When all
adjustments are done, press the

⁄

Buttons

to move the on-screen

›

cursor so that it is next to

BACK TO MASTER MENU

and then press

the

Set Button

if you wish to go back to the

main menu to make other adjustments. If you have no
other adjustments to make, press the

OSD Button

to exit the menu system.

NOTE:

The output levels may be separately trimmed

for each surround mode, by selecting that mode and
following the instructions in the steps shown earlier.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup that
preserves system configuration information and tuner
presets if the unit is accidentally unplugged or subjected
to a power outage. This memory lasts for approximately
four weeks, after which time all information must be
reentered.
